ICOTS: The ICOTS conferences, held by IASE every 4 years, are the most important events on the international statistics education calendar. ICOTS stands for International Conference on the Teaching of Statistics. The last such conference, ICOTS 7, was held in Brazil in July 2006. The next, ICOTS 8, will be held in Ljubljanja, Slovenia in July 2010.

ISI Congresses: These are the main conferences of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and occur every 2 years. IASE organises about 10 statistics education sessions at each ISI congress. The next, ISI 57, is to be held in Durban, South Africa in August 2009.

IASE Satellite Conferences: These are themed conferences held in close proximity to the ISI congresses. The most recent, On Assessing Student Learning in Statistics, was held in Portugal in 2007. The next, with the theme Next Steps in Statistics Education, is to be held in Durban, South Africa in August 2009 immediately prior to ISI 57.

IASE Round Tables: These are small workshop conferences which bring together a select international group of experts to address a particular theme and to make recommendations from which institutions and individuals engaged in statistical education and training (in developed and developing countries) may benefit. The most recent Round Tables are Statistics Education in School Mathematics: Challenges for Teaching and Teacher Education held in July 2008 in Monterrey, Mexico (a component of the joint ICMI/IASE Study on this topic) and Curricular Development in Statistics Education held in Sweden in 2004. IASE Round Tables are held in close proximity to the 4-yearly ICME conferences.

International Congresses in Mathematical Education (ICME): IASE also organises a suite of statistics education sessions at each ICME conference; see Study Group 13 and Study Group 14 at ICME 11 in Mexico in July 2008.

International Research Forum on Statistical Reasoning, Thinking and Literacy, SRTL: The SRTL series of biennial forums bring together researchers working in the fields of statistical reasoning, thinking and literacy. While not run by IASE itself, the SRTL series is organised and run by long-term mainstays of IASE with IASE support. The next, SRTL 6, is to be held in Brisbane, Australia in July 2009.

IASE periodically provides support, advice and people to assist with other conferences around the world which are addressing or including statistics education themes
